It will provide convenience to 3200 passengers daily. The Northern and Northeast Railway administration is continuously working to strengthen the infrastructure. On one hand, the Ganga bridge on the Kanpur route is being repaired after 29 years.
On the other hand, work is going on on the Gorakhpur route. Track speed is being increased i.e. where trains used to run at a speed of 80 to 100 km per hour, the speed has been increased to 130 km per hour. Now preparations are on to run Vande Bharat trains from Lucknow's Charbagh Railway Station to Jammu and from Gomtinagar Station to Bhopal and Jaipur.
